Digital Index for Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae

A few months ago we added some digital Indexes to help researchers find information on Scottish Presbyterian ministers who didn’t belong to the Church of Scotland. At the same time, we gave some help in finding men in the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae. I saw on a web-site someone who called this “a brilliant first step towards” a digital index for the Fasti. Further steps have now been taken and we now have a General Index of Scottish Presbyterian Ministers. This is a collation of all the previous Indexes already on this web-site, together with all the ministers mentioned in the Fasti, Volumes 1-8. Altogether there are references for over 23,000 Scottish Presbyterian Ministers. For more, see the latest Blog and to access the material click General Index / General Index in the main menu bar.

GOALS

The immediate aims are now as follow:

to revise the existing material in the Ministers’ List of Ewing’s Annals so as to maintain accuracy and consistency;

to complete what is lacking in these Ministers’ Lists – especially with reference to family background;

to develop this web-site as a starting place for finding information on other Scottish Presbyterian ministers.

Updates detailing progress made towards these goals will appear from time to time on the Blog page.
